About Gear Levers & Shifters

Make sure the gear levers you choose are the correct ones for your rear cassette - either 8/9 or 10 speed. Also check that the integrated brake levers (if fitted) are cable or hydraulic to suit your brake calipers. Most SRAM shifters are only compatible with their own derailleurs.

Perfect replacement on an old 3x9 speed bikeMy wife and I both have a couple of old to quite old 3x9 speed bikes each. Over the last couple of months I have bought 3 sets of these trigger shifters. The age of the bikes varies from thirteen years old to nineteen years old and this is the first time that that any of the shifters have been changed. These new ones are replacing shimano like for like. Easy to fit, almost guaranteed longetivity and helping to give the bikes a new lease of life. They should last the bikes until the point when they are put out to pasture. In one sense thay also save me money as I don't feel the need to buy new bikes (combined with some other new parts). They may be old tech but they still work extremely well and it's good to know that there is still 9 speed kit available.

Precise Gear Shifters.Got these to replace my old shifters that were worn out and the difference is amazing as I now get positive shifting every time. I would highly these shifters as the price is very reasonable and they are easy to fit and set up.

Are these shifters 3x9?

Is the shifter for the front gears 3 speed?

Asked by: Kinny

These shifters should be suitable for a 27 speed, in a 3 x 9 speed set up.

Do these come with a full set of gear cables? If so, which ones?

Asked by: nerdfeliz

The ones I got had the inner cables attached to each pod and there are two short front outers for the pod to down tube section and a derailleur end outer all with plastic end caps. My bike has a short section of outer between the top and seat tube and I had to use a spare piece from my box of rubbish to complete the job although the front outers are generous and could be cut if required. Otherwise everything you need is there including some cable end crimps and rubber seal thing to put over the cable at the derailleur end. My shifting has improved 100% and is back to new condition.

9x1 compatible

I have a 9x1 setup on my Jamis commuter bike, Shimano Sora 3500 9 Speed Rear Mech.
I would use the rear shifter only, but would this work/be compatible?
thanks.

Can I use shifters with 2x9?

Are shifters suitable for double speed front derailleur?

Asked by: ValeryForWiggle

These can be set-up to run a 2x9-speed set-up although the front derailleur would have to be adjusted by a mechanic to ensure it doesn't skip the chain over the top of the chainring when shifting to the larger gear.

What bar size are the shifters for?

I can't see the spec for bar fitment for the shifters! I have an older bike with a handlebar diameter of 25.4mm, would these fit this size?

Asked by: Flash000

These should be suitable without issue for your bars.

Can I open the pod and install the new cables instead of using the pre-installed ones?

I understand these come with pre-installed cables - one side in the closed pod. Now I just bought fancy cables. Can I open the pod and install the new cables instead of using the pre-installed ones?
